Al Haramain Perfumes Portfolio Portrait Sandal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Portfolio Portrait Sandal opens with Neroli and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Leather, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Ambergris. Al Haramain Perfumes's Portfolio Portrait Sandal carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive modern woody-spicy. Some reckon it's a solid, longer-lasting twist on classic Egoiste or Ombré Nomade; others find it uninspired and dusty. Don't go in expecting a revolution, but it might just hit the spot if you're after something familiar with a bit more punch.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A potent, woody-spicy concoction that kicks off with a sharp duo of pepper and neroli, quickly leading into a heart of rich rose and smooth leather, warmed by cinnamon and ylang-ylang. The base settles into a substantial sandalwood, sweetened by vanilla and tonka, with a hint of earthy ambergris. Expect a significant, long-lasting presence.
